An ARM product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Aug 18, 2009

Core Logic has licensed the ARM Mali-400 MP multi-core graphics processing unit (GPU) to enable significantly enhanced high-definition (HD) entertainment and browsing experiences.

The unit is suitable for smartphones, fully featured multimedia phones, portable media players (PMPs) and personal navigation devices (PNDs), without compromising battery life.

The Mali-400 MP supports complex 2D and 3D multimedia applications at up to 1,080p resolution and offers pixel processing rates from 300 million to more than 1G pixels per second.

This enables manufacturers of mobile phones, PMPs and PNDs to deliver console-quality gaming and high-quality navigation, user interfaces and web browsing to their end users, while benefiting from low memory bandwidth usage and low power consumption.

The Mali-400 MP GPU also supports Khronos OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenVG standards.

The scalability of the Mali-400 MP GPU from one to four cores enables Core Logic to serve multiple product markets, achieving the optimum power, performance and area configuration for each application, all underpinned by the same architecture and supported by the Mali range of middleware and drivers.

Core Logic will deliver its Mali-400 GPU-based solution to customers in 2010.
